Chapter 1041: Taking the Initiative
Chapter 1041: Taking the Initiative
Li Yungui didn’t realize that when he spoke like this, his facial expression and tone were full of pride."Do you have more equipment?"
"Yes, we already have a harvester, and with the addition of a threshing machine, we can save a lot of labor."
"But I also know that getting electricity to your village is quite difficult."
"That’s why we need to apply for it."
"We’ll have a meeting to discuss this matter."
"Leader, please act quickly. The demand is really high now, and we’re struggling to keep up." Since it’s come to this, we should just move quickly. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Alright, what if we send someone to your village?"
"Leader, what’s the difference? It’s better to move to the city, as it’s easier for transport to other places, isn’t it?" This is what Wei Kaiyun advised Li Yungui to say.
"Leader, you don’t know. If it rains, our village is completely inaccessible."
Xiao Wei pointed out this issue to change the leader’s mind.
"Alright, we’ll decide in a meeting."
Since the leader said this, Li Yungui stopped talking.
"Leader, I’ll head back first. I’ll wait for the notification."
"Alright, you can go back. You’ll be informed when the time comes."
Li Yungui and Wei Kaiyun had discussed in advance, so there was no need to wait for each other; they could meet directly at the eldest brother’s house.
Therefore, Li Yungui left the compound directly.
At noon, Li Yunqiao analyzed the current situation privately with Li Yungui in the study.
Actually, for Li Yungui, he understood the intention of Wei Kaiyun and his elder brother, but he just felt sorry to miss this money-making opportunity.
After lunch, Old Yang arrived, and the three of them drove home together.
On the way, the car was particularly quiet. No one spoke.
When they got home, Li Yungui got out of the car at the gate of Wei’s house. He didn’t go home but went to the chicken farm.
In the future, he could manage the chicken farm, so his attention would be fully on it.
However, Jiang Xinyu had set requirements that not everyone could enter the chicken farm. Even Li Yungui could only ask questions from outside.
The roosters were no longer free-range; they were also kept in enclosures. Although it was somewhat like modern broiler farming, at least the feed didn’t contain growth hormones or other drugs.
So these chickens were a bit fattier, and while the taste might not be as good as free-range, the flavor and nutritional value should be the same.
Currently, three elder villagers were living here. Together with Wen Zhenzong, four people could go in to feed the chickens; others could only work outside the chicken coops.
Li Yungui asked detailed questions and felt relieved knowing everything was fine.
Only then did he stroll home, determined to let every household earn more money this year.
After changing his clothes, he hurriedly went to the fields.
Today, they could plant soybeans in ten acres of land.
Tomorrow, they’d work hard again, and the day after, the tractor could start working. However, Li Yungui was worried someone might need the tractor.
Xiao Wei said he could take the tractor anytime but had to wait until Wang Shulin finished planting.
Wei Kaiyun returned home to find his wife was working in the fields, so he quickly changed clothes and went to join her.
In the evening, the couple lay on the kang, with Wei Kaiyun giving his wife a massage.
"Xinyu, that female journalist came again."
"The one from the province?"
"Yes."
"Still hasn’t given up on you?"
"Hmm."
"Wow, you must be quite charming to attract her back again."
Wei Kaiyun felt a little deflated, "Wife, don’t tease me. I actually don’t want to be interviewed, but this is a provincial focus, so I have to cooperate."
"As long as there’s no problem in your heart, I trust you.
But Wei Kaiyun, you need to know, if I find out there’s any problem, our family of five will leave.
Of course, if I don’t find out, that means you’re really good at hiding it from me.
It doesn’t matter if it’s this female journalist or any other woman.
I, Jiang Xinyu, won’t cry or argue with you, and I absolutely won’t compromise."
"Jiang Xinyu, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person?"
"I know you’re not now, maybe because there’s nothing attractive to you. But you never know what might happen in the future, so I’m telling you my stance now."
"Wife, how can you not trust me?
I would never wrong you; don’t you know how much I love you?"
"I said I trust you. But who knows what the future holds? What might happen? So I’m making my position clear to you now, to spare you any mental pressure."
"Wife, I, Wei Kaiyun, will never even glance at another woman in this life. Having you is my good fortune."
"Alright. As long as you continue being good to us, I’ll be good to you, too."
Wei Kaiyun felt utterly heartbroken. It wasn’t his problem, really felt wronged, fully disgusted by that unstable woman.
Song Yanling, here, couldn’t leave with Wei Kaiyun today, and she was simply furious.
So she directly went to find Li Yunqiao. "Vice Mayor Li, how can I conduct my work if Wei Kaiyun is so uncooperative?"
Li Yunqiao was also very angry to be questioned so arrogantly, and besides, Xiao Wei expressed his stance to him today, not willing to be interviewed by this female journalist. "Mr. Song, if you don’t want to conduct the interview, you can leave. I will report this to your leaders.
Ever since you took on this task, your behavior has not been what a journalist should display.
The way you’ve been chasing a man is really unseemly.
Besides, you know Xiao Wei has a family.
As a knowledgeable woman of the new era, do you disregard ethics like this? You’re no longer suitable for this work."
Li Yunqiao didn’t spare any face when speaking to Song Yanling.
After speaking, he picked up the phone on the table.
Song Yanling didn’t expect this result. How could a man, a leader, so bluntly say such things without saving face?
Li Yunqiao was calling the provincial leader directly responsible for this.
All Song Yanling could think about now was to snatch the phone from Li Yunqiao, unable to imagine he’d speak so directly to the leader.
"Old Li, let’s have Mr. Song return."
"Yes, leader, Xiao Wei came over today, and I don’t know what Mr. Song said to him, but he expressed unwillingness to be interviewed by her, especially by a woman with ulterior motives."
"Alright, I understand. A male journalist will be sent over tomorrow."
"Thank you for your support, leader."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunqiao looked at Song Yanling expressionlessly. "Mr. Song, you can go back now. The leader will send someone else over."
